Question for those who have the Black Magic e-fan.

I see there are three part numbers (60, 155, 165), and they have different fitment brackets. Which one fits best onto the GSL-SE radiator?

Save yourself some money and get a two speed junkyard fan from a 1990s V6 Ford Taurus. You can usually find them for $20-$40. It fits the 1984-1985 Rx-7 radiators exactly. All you have to do is trim out a little spot for the lower radiator hose. I guarantee you that it will pull as much or more than a black magic fan. When my Taurus fan kicks on I can stand 10 feet behind the car and still feel the air blowing. It's insane. Here is an auction of one on Ebay.

If you want more info, search the forum for "Taurus Fan". You'll find more information. I've done this 2-3 times, and I'm always happy after I do.

A Taurus fan, eh? Ok, I'll look into it, thanks.

I'm running a Taurus fan as a pusher for years now. Works great.
